Root Explanation

Conditioned → It is formed from "conditio" (from Latin, meaning a stipulation or agreement) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a state or condition). The word "conditioned" refers to being in a particular state or having been subjected to certain stipulations or agreements.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'stipulation' ('conditio') that sets a specific 'state' ('-ed') for something — that's why conditioned means being in a specific state due to certain conditions.
